I know I could partner up with a local, but at the moment I am not interested on that route.

Putting every roommate on one lease tends to eliminate all of that because they're all responsible for the house and the total rent.I'd personally rather go the non-student route than do individual leases but that's just a personal preference. 

I'm in the Houston area and looking to list my property as a midterm rental before going the traditional lease route.

Hey Ryan - Looks like a rehab and refinance could be an ideal route for your plan!

I personally like the credit card balance transfer check route, since it's interest-free for a decent amount of time (aside from an initial 3.00% fee). 

Working on a few STR deals with savvy investor sellers and we are wrapping some really low interest rates so the DOS clause concern is very much alive… We have decided to go the land trust route w/ one of the properties to try to be as careful as possible.

Should we go the STR or long-term rental (LTR) route to break even and rely on future appreciation, with the goal of selling in five years?

Did you use an RIA or go the broker route?

However, the mortgage and taxes are too high in this home to go that route.

If I do go the FHA route and live in the property, would I be able to cash out refinance the property after the “seasoning” period and pull out my equity after the rehab and tenants are in place?
